Path Creation, Path Dependence and Breaking Away from the Path: Re-Examining the Case of Nokia
The explanation of how and why firms succeed or fail is a recurrent research challenge. This is particularly important in the context of technological innovations. We focus on the role of historical events and decisions in explaining such success and failure. Using a case study of Nokia, we develop and extend a multi-layer path dependence framework. We identify four layers of path dependence: t...
متن کاملPath Constitution Analysis: A Methodology for Understanding Path Dependence and Path Creation
Although an increasing number of studies of technological, institutional and organizational change refer to the concepts of path dependence and path creation, few attempts have been made to consider these concepts explicitly in their methodological accounts. This paper addresses this gap and contributes to the literature by developing a comprehensive methodology that originates from the concept...
متن کاملOrphan innovation, or when path-creation goes stale: a design framework to characterise path-dependence in real time
How can we identify whether innovation processes in an organization, a region or a sector are stagnating? Moreover, how can we assess the degree of innovation stagnation? These are issues at the core of the management of innovation literature,and the challenge of how to answer these questions in real time remains a problem yet to be solved, particularly in cases where innovation is highly expec...

متن کاملPortage and Path Dependence.
We examine portage sites in the U.S. South, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest, including those on the fall line, a geomorphological feature in the southeastern U.S. marking the final rapids on rivers before the ocean. Historically, waterborne transport of goods required portage around the falls at these points, while some falls provided water power during early industrialization. These factors attracte...
